Assessing the relationship between contact sensitization and eczema in adolescents and adults on the example of nickel and neomycin: preliminary results of a meta-analysis of epidemiological data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Throughout literature, positive patch tests to nickel were found in 8.0–51.5% patients with eczema and in 5.9– 27.8% general population, the respective figures for neomycin being 0.0–40.0% and 0.0–2.9%, respectively. As these ranges for eczema patients and general population overlap, it is not clear how strong is the association between the disease and contact sensitization to respective haptens. The aim of the study was to analyze the putative relationship between contact sensitization to nickel or neomycin and eczema with the means of meta-analysis of available data for adolescents and adults.
